For six months plus I've had an issue with games randomly CTD. No matter what driver I've used over the past 6 months I have the same issue, and I can't figure it out.
Games that CTD on me are:
Just Cause 2 (crashes on start-up)
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Crashes on loading screen)
Medal of Honor (crashes on loading screen)
Total War: Shogun 2 (crashes when campaign selected but runs benchmark)

Crysis 2 has texture flashing using DX11

All of my other games seem to work ok, but some of my favorite games I can't even play. Any ideas?

Texture flashing with patch 1.9 and DX11 high quality textures is something that happens to many people....

As for the others did you try disabling SLI ? That would the first thing i'd do...

Yes, and it still CTD's

Any chance you have used custom settings in your NVIDIA CC ?

A bad stick of ram caused that on my rig last year. Drove me crazy for a long time, and I only tried the one stick at a time out of desperation, but some games still played just fine. Others would crash on load or after playing a few minutes.

CPU Overheating could also be an issue or even the PSU having an issue....Too many things to consider with PCs...

Yup, could be one of several things for sure.

Ram is easiest to troubleshoot though, after that I'd start disconnecting/removing hardware until i found the culprit. I'm betting it's not a software related issue.

The problem is depending on the driver, and if I manually update Punkbuster for Bad Company 2 I can get into some servers for a period of time, and the campaign works flawlessly.

Also, I noticed that on the loading screen in Bad Company 2 that my web cam light begins flashing, and a few seconds later I CTD.

Did you try to up the voltage of your Overclock through the BIOS or do you have it on Auto ?

It could be 1000 things so we need to cover all of them, if possible..
